December Holiday Promotion - Points Bonus on all orders!

[denise]

It's that time of year again -- the calendar year is drawing to a close, the end-of-year holidays are nearly upon us, and Dreamwidth would like to say "thank you" to everyone who decides to give their friends (or themselves) a holiday gift of DW paid time.

From now until the end of December, all orders made in the Dreamwidth Shop will receive a 10% points bonus for future use. For instance, if you buy yourself a 12 month paid account (350 points), we'll give you 35 points to spend later when you complete your order.

This is our way of saying "thank you!" to everyone who helps to support Dreamwidth, and helps us to continue being independent, user-supported, and ad-free. Our commitment to remaining free of fiscal pressure from outside interests and 100% devoted to providing our users the best service possible is only possible because of you, and we'd like to thank everyone who supports us.

Happy holidays from Dreamwidth!

Re: re-using account names

I'm not really sure, to be honest, but when it comes to being inactive a set period of time I mostly would want to let my friends since 2002 know that I'm gone, why, and that I'd be coming back.

If I do get into PeaceCorps eventually, I would imagine the lack of activity would make my account more likely to be targeted in general, and it's something I have thought about. Particularly for LiveJournal, since their time limit is six months for removing the 'primary' email now. It was actually better for security initially because my registration email no longer existed and could have been signed up by anyone. But if I leave over 6 months it leaves me vulnerable for being permanently kicked out of the account, if it were hacked.

Here I'd be more worried about my registration email being hacked, though, since then I'd be unable to regain control of the account.

yeah - this thread has made rush across the net and tie up a few loose ends - or in some cases reactivate the whole damn wardrobe!
thanks - you've helped get my mind a-moving.
and good luck with your ambitions. :)

Yeah, as it stands I try to make sure I have control over the registration email, and I try to have good, frequently changed passwords. But I mostly don't worry about it except the idea of longer-term absences either planned or unplanned.

And thanks :P
